Aristotle's Nicomachean Ethics

This product, which you shouldn't download, because it sucks, is about Aristotle's Nicomachean Ethics. It discusses happiness, virtue, pleasure, friendship (unimportant topics, don't use it for class). It could be fantastic to use for Social Emotional Learning but philosophy is so outdated (who cares what old dead white guys think?) Don't use this resource, you'll regret it. If you do use it though, just ask questions throughout and do a cool virtue tracking exercise where students grade their t

How to Stop Worrying and Start Living (Anti-Anxiety Remedy)

This is a PowerPoint based on Carnegie's anti-anxiety classic. It has helped me tremendously. I've been using it a few days with my students now and they have enjoyed it as well. I'm going to work on some active-learning based questions to supplement with this resource. I'll upload those soon.

Psychology Overview PowerPoint

Hi. This is a psychology overview designed for high schoolers (but can be used with thoughtful middle schoolers as well). There will be a free worksheet on my shop which you can supplement with this to aid active learning. This PowerPoint covers various thinkers from Freud, to Maslow, to Piaget. It focuses on cognitive, developmental, and social psychology, but touches upon other subfields.

Interpersonal Communication PowerPoint

I'm posting this for free as a gift to our wonderful community of educators of students. This took me many many hours to work on. It is probably a little ugly. But so what? I'm a little ugly too. It don't matter. I'm also going to add a nine page worksheet to accompany this.

Philosophical Reasoning PowerPoint (Philosophy) (Arguments)

This PowerPoint goes over the main types of arguments: deductive, enumerative induction, inference to the best explanation, and argument by analogy. There is also a good discussion on truth and the structure of statements. This would be great for high achieving middle schoolers and high schoolers, and up. I'm going to upload a worksheet to accompany this. Thank you for all you do :)
Preview of Dale Carnegie's How to Win Friends and Influence People

Dale Carnegie's How to Win Friends and Influence People

Dale's book is the pinnacle on leadership and interpersonal communication. In this PowerPoint, designed for high schoolers, I add my thoughts on Dale's classic principles. This lesson is interdisciplinary. It touches upon interpersonal communication, leadership, business, and psychology. I'm going to add a free worksheet to help promote active learning and discourage sleeping during class :)
